You may not need the switch at all. I recall that there were 8 port switch
modules for the 2600 that came out last year...

T,

    I don't think you could use PIX. You're going to need to run a routing
protocol, so you know when the wireless is down, use the VPN (floating
static). A 2610 with a trunk-able switch should do the job. If a 17xx can
trunk, even cheaper.
